Okay this chapter is up. I DON"T OWN HARRY POTTER OR ANY OTHER CHARACTERS JUST THE PLOT LINE. I would like to thank my Beta ONMYOWN29 for helping me with my spelling issues.

Chapter 10

Charlie used the floo from the Hogs Head bar to the main Floo system in Hogwarts. After exiting, he walked up towards the great hall where the meeting was to be held.

"You're running late as well I see." Snape said from behind Charlie.

"Fell asleep after work." Charlie said as he saw Remus was also behind him next to Snape.

"I would recommend saying you ate dinner then took a nap. Do not eat anything here tonight." Snape said in a low voice knowing Lupin would hear as well.

The three walked in to the great hall Charlie sat next to his mum with Remus sitting on his other side. He noticed that Snape sat on the other side of Remus. Looking around he realized that they were the last to arrive, and Dumbledore seemed to be sucking on an extremely sour lemon.

"Now that we are all here we can get down to business. The first order of business is that I received notice that Harry Potter is missing, we need to think where would he go and how to ensure we get him safely back to his aunt and uncles…"

Dumbledore was interrupted by Kingsley standing up "I have a message for the order by Madam Bones herself. The order is to stay away from Harry Potter unless HE contacts us. Madam Bones said to inform all of us that should we attempt to contact him we will be arrested."

"Harry is a minor and needs to be with those who have custody it is not safe for him to…"

Dumbledore was interrupted again this time by Tonks. "Harry is no longer considered a minor Sirius Black's Will took effect and as of yesterday Harry is emaciated and legally allowed to be on his own since he has the means to care for himself money and housing wise. Madam Bones plans to contact Harry and personally inform him that anyone trying to force him to do anything against his will he could press charges that include telling him he has to go somewhere he doesn't want to go for his safety. Now that the issue with weather we find him or not is now considered illegal to force the issue it is no longer of importance so MOVE on to the next order of business.

Dumbledore saw that the auror's would not have anything to do with keeping Harry safe and controlled for the greater good. He decided to move on to the order of business. "As of Sirius' untimely death we no longer have access to the headquarters of the order without being allowed to find out if Harry would allow us to use Grimmauld Place we will have to think of a new location. Seeing as when school starts we cannot keep the order here and the office is not rea big enough for all of us. However, that is neither here nor there, Severus if you could start with informing us of Voldemort's activates?

"The dark lord is currently staying low ordering all of his death eaters to avoid detection leaves most of us to assume he is planning something big. However, no one to my knowledge knows anything on what it is. He cursed Bellatrix until she passed out for failing him at the ministry. He keeps Narcissa and Draco locked in a room that none of us is allowed in. Lucius has been locked in a dungeon in chains for his failing at the ministry. The others, I don't think any of us have seen since Lucius got them out of the holding cells at the ministry. He is worried about the next Minister of Magic. He and many of the other death eaters fear it might be Madam Bones. However, the only thing keeping her from taking the seat is lack of votes. Though at the moment if Potter voiced his thoughts on her becoming Minister of Magic she would likely win by a landslide. And the dark lord is the one who voiced that thought."

"Then we must be thankful Harry hates publicity and most likely won't give an interview. Next what is the status amongst the werewolves?" Dumbledore turned to Remus.

"Most clans have chosen to be neutral in this war and want nothing to do with the wizarding world. However the clans that have taken a stand in this war have chosen Voldemort's side, their reasoning is Voldemort promised them equal rights and ways to provide for their families. In fact, those that swear loyalty to him are being given 5,000 galleons a week for them to provide for their families and have someone who takes the food and medical items to them for free. I have been threatened by some clans to be given to Voldemort if I bother them again about joining the orders cause. Add to that if Voldemort thought I could be used to lure Harry to him I wouldn't put it past him." Remus stated while quietly saying to himself he will never be returning to try convincing the packs to join the light.

Mad eye decided to take control of the meeting and spoke up next. "Madam Bones made it quite clear should anyone of her Auror's drop charges or remove a prisoner from custody we will be terminated on the spot and arrested for interfering with the process of the law. Madam Bones is hoping to take the seat as Minister as she plans to make the law where anyone accused of being a death eater has to testify under truth serum they are not now or ever been a death eater. Umbridge is being held in a cell for use of illegal item on children. The law now states ANYONE arrested for any reason can be questioned under truth serum including a minor." Mad eye sat down knowing there was going to be some hell raised.

"How did she get such a law passed under the Wizengamot nose I never would have approved it?" Dumbledore demanded.

"It was mixed in with law suits that former Minster Fudge is being charged with; all members of the counsel signed it." Tonks spoke with a smile. "I for one am thrilled to see the law passed it means that those that hear anything on you know who's activities will have more people to stop them instead of the just the order."

"How about you, any luck talking to any other people into joining the order at the ministry?" Dumbledore looked towards Arthur Weasley hoping to hear some good news.

"Afraid not. It seems anyone who was interested suddenly changed their minds once it was public knowledge that you know who returned." Arthur reported.

Dumbledore looked like he was sucking the sourest lemon in the world now. "What about you any luck at the bank?" Signaling to Bill.

"No luck. My employers made it quite clear they don't give a damn about the order of the flaming chickens. The only one they plan to support is Harry and if I don't stop trying to get them to consider the order I will be out of a job and sorry to say but my job comes first over the order. I will not risk my life or job while working in the shadows for the order." Bill bluntly stated where he stood on the matter.

"Charlie how about you any luck with your new job gaining any allies?"

"No luck on my end either. Those working with dragons only care about the dragons and their families on the reserve. They say that joining an alliance that refuses to kill their enemies is nothing but a bunch of idiots playing a game seeing how many other idiots fall first." Charlie stated repeating Harry's words about the order to him last week.

"Did you point out that it is very dark to murder someone?" Dumbledore asked very annoyed that no one was being any help today.

"No I actually agree with them. It is stupid to bury our allies and let the killers live to kill another day. The difference between killing a murder and killing a person in cold blood is the ones that kill in cold blood do it because they can get away with it because people are too afraid to stand up and kick their asses, killing a murderer would be saving the would be victims lives." Charlie stated.

"You know Ron said that Harry said that he hopes to hit Bellatrix with a powerful cutting curse in the back of the neck next time he sees her. He hopes to cut her head clean off her shoulders. I honestly don't blame him after she killed his godfather." Molly said as she nodded with Charlie agreeing he was right in her option.

"I know he would have Madam Bones backing him up with that one. She is pissed that the insane bitch wasn't put down after what she did to two of the best auror's that ever walked the ministry. I would be willing to back him as well. Sirius should have cast her from the Black family when he had a chance. It might have been enough to kill her." Tonks said

"I would be thrilled to train the lad to strike to kill his targets." Mad eye said with a sinister grin.

The order meeting ended with Dumbledore spluttering that someone who would kill is someone who would be just as bad as Voldemort only a dark person would be willing to kill. None of the group was listening; they were all standing and walking out the door of the great hall. Mad Eye said he was going to be sending the lad a letter with the offer to train him to kill his targets without using the killing curse.

Severus smirked as he led the group to the main floo chamber. Molly, Arthur, and Bill headed to the Burrow. Charlie hit the Leaky Cauldron, each of the auror's headed home or to the ministry. Remus and Severus both went to Remus' home. After checking each other for any tracking or listening spells, Severus made some tea and followed Remus to the couch. "Are you planning to tell Harry that Madam Bones is looking for him? Or suggest to him to nominate Madam Bones for Minister of Magic?" Severus asked as he handed Remus the tea.

"Why bother? Charlie will be telling Harry everything as soon as he gets back to Harry's house. However, just in case I will be bringing it up to Harry at the meeting at the bank tomorrow morning. Even though it will put a major monkey wrench in Dumbledore's weird plans," Remus said with a snicker.

"Indeed it will. Are you planning to take the goblins up on their offer in September?" Severus said as he sipped his tea.

"Yes I will be accepting their offer. I also know Bill and Charlie are taking up positions as well. I also plan to suggest to the goblins to contact Mad Eye on training them for more advance killing tactics. Are you going to tutor the small group in potions?" Remus smirked as he saw the surprise cross Severus's face.

"Yes though it will be different than the rest of you. I will be giving them their assignments for the month, receive the assignments as I give them the next month's assignments. Every now and then, I might be able to show up in the middle of the month but not very often. Seeing as I have to avoid not only the other death eater brats but Dumbledore as well. Are you planning to tell Harry about us?"

"As long as they can fully understand the instructions on the papers you give them they should have no problem following your assignments and doing well with them. As for telling Harry we are together as long as you don't have a problem with it I will be telling him tomorrow." Remus smiled knowing the since Sirius knew that he was with Severus and was fine with it. There was a high chance that Sirius had told Harry.

"No I don't have a problem with it. I just hope he will accept it." Severus said as he placed his empty teacup on the table.

Charlie got home after a stop at the twins' shop where he had them double check him for tracking charms and/or listening charms. He walked out of the kitchen and planned to check if Harry was still awake when Dobby appeared in front of him "Master Harry is in the library he falls asleep reading his new book."

Charlie smiled and nodded "could you fix Harry's blankets so I can place him on the bed and still be able to cover him up? Thank you Dobby." Charlie watched as Dobby nodded and popped away from him. He walked in to the Library and saw Harry sleeping with the book on his chest. Quietly, Charlie walked over, removed the book from Harry's chest, placed it on the end table before he carefully picked Harry up, and brought him upstairs. After placing him on the bed, he transfigured Harry's clothes in to loose Pajamas before covering Harry up. Giving him a soft kiss on the head, he left the room turning out the light as he exited.

Charlie went downstairs, picked Harry's book up, and put a bookmark in it before placing the book on the table. Looking at the owl perches, he saw Hedwig was sleeping on hers while Puck was gone. Looking closer Charlie realized that she had made a nest on her perch. Smiling to himself, he headed up stairs to his own room.

ELSEWHERE

Madam Bones just finished getting information on Dumbledore and his plans with Harry Potter. Looking at the young girl in disgust, she planned to go talk to the Weasley's first thing in the morning. Looking over at her auror she nodded and the auror brought her wand up and cast the orange spell on the girl.

"That girl is sick and needs mental help! Dumbledore not only knows her sick obsession, but also that he encourages it is bad enough but his plans for Potter is by far the sickest part yet. Sounds like he knows the boy is being abused by those muggles and encourages it. It is criminal." Madam Bones said as she walked down the hall to her office to file the orders to start an investigation with the details she had received from both the girl and her spy in the order who helps by also reporting Voldemort's activates.

"I agree with Potter's assessment killing off those murdering dogs would be better use of our money and resources."

Next morning

Hermione woke to seeing Puck sitting on her windowsill holding a rat by his tail in his beak. Hermione noticed that this rat had a silver paw and he appeared to be knocked out. She quickly grabbed a jar charmed to be unbreakable. Going to Puck, she had him drop the yucky rat in to the jar and gave him some owl treats instead. She put Puck on her arm and ran downstairs to call Remus' cell phone.

Severus glared at the noise the phone was making as Remus got up to answer it. "Hello? Hermione calm down tell me what is going on. You did? I will call Madam Bones now if you need to stun him with the wand I am sure Madam Bones will excuse it. I will meet you there in a few minutes." Remus hung up his cell phone before running downstairs to use the floo to call Madam Bones.

Severus walked down the stairs with a pair of pants for Remus and a shirt. Placing his own robe on as he went down the stairs. Remus pulled his head out of the floo very red in the face. He silently offered Remus the clothes. With a muttered thank you, Remus put the clothes on and got ready to leave. "So what is going on that caused you to get so worked up that you would call the head of DMLE butt naked?" Severus asked as he handed Remus his cell phone.

"Hermione woke up with Harry's new owl holding a rat with a silver paw. In other words Wormtail. She has the rat in a jar with an unbreakable charm."

"Just be careful the dark lord wouldn't have sent wormtail to her house alone unless he didn't get caught outside of her house and got caught somewhere else." Severus said as Remus nodded and left.

Remus met Madam Bones and Tonks at the Granger's property. Hermione opened the door letting them in and quickly introduced the three to her Parents while handing the jar over to Madam Bones. While Tonks and Remus checked the area for hidden unwanted guests after confirming that the rat was an animagus they sealed the jar and thanked Hermione and left after confirming there was no one else in the area.

Madam Bones thanked Remus for the help and hidden information and headed back to the ministry to get truth serum in the rat with Tonks following her out the door while rearranging her to-do list.

"Remus would you like to stay for breakfast?" Hermione's mom Emma asked as she led the group in to the kitchen.

"As long as it doesn't put you out I would be happy to stay." Remus said as he noticed Hermione reading the letter Puck had brought with him.

Hermione,

Tomorrow morning I will be going to the bank to discuss the final plans for our upcoming education. I am under to impression we will know a handful of our tutors. One of them might only be showing up once every couple of weeks to pick up and give assignments. Maybe spending the day with our group. I think you will love my library it is wall to wall of books in every subject including muggle studies. There is a small bookcase just inside the door with a bunch of muggle books.

I have been working on setting up everyone's rooms. I have your room painted in baby blue (your favorite color if I am right) and Luna's room wallpapered in Pink and white snapdragons (Luna's favorite flower) Ron's room is being done with a mural on the wall with quidditch themed. Neville's room is being painted in dark green with a different plants growing wild look. My room is covered in muggle posters that I have gotten from places I have visited this summer. On one wall, I have a glass china cabinet that has my broom and some other souvenirs that I have collected.

After the meeting at the bank, I plan to be leaving with my friend to go camping. We will be leaving the day of my birthday. I know the twins wanted to arrange a birthday party for me but this kind of blows their plans out of the water maybe when I get back we can all meet up and have some ice cream.

We got talking earlier tonight and come to find out he has had a crush on me for a few years now. Truthfully, I have had the same attraction for him but we will not be doing anything too deep until after I become of age. With me being bi-sexual, I have held an attraction to him but also a girl who I doubt would be interested in me. I think she likes someone else. Anyways on to another topic as you say, I have been having a lot of fun this summer, we were at a waterpark the other day, and I was walking over a bridge that went over the tire tube ride I looked down at the riders and watched them for a few minutes. I saw a female with hair just like yours, but I don't think you would ever wear something that skimpy from where I was standing I could see right down her bikini top got a really good view of the females breast. I took off running afterwards. I didn't want to be caught looking there though I was surprised that I could see that much from standing on a bridge. I think Hedwig might be getting ready to lay eggs with Puck she built a nest on her owl perch. I was honestly worried that she might get jealous about a new owl doing her deliveries. Instead, they took a real liking to each other.

Well I am getting ready to sit down and read my new book I got today 'Fighting with Magic against Dark Magic.' So I will hear from you later.

Love from Harry

Remus watched with amusement that Hermione went from looking happy to looking like she was getting ready to cry to blushing beat red then looking like she was getting ready to sigh. 'I think she has a crush on Harry. I wonder what made her look like she was getting ready to cry.

Hermione quickly penned a note for Harry, and then gave it to Puck along with a box to give to Harry. A few minutes after he flew off Hermione suddenly looked up "Damn I shouldn't have said that." Remus looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "I um said somethings in that letter I probably shouldn't have said." Hermione said with a blush.

After breakfast

Remus stood "Thank you for the fantastic breakfast Mrs. Granger I hate to eat and run but I have an appointment at the bank in half an hour."

Well this chapter is up sorry. I am using my dragon auto typer to put most information in. thankfully I have Hermione and some other names marked as favorite uses on spell check. For those of you who noticed my mistake in chapter 9 it is Madam Bones not Amanda bones
